Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s Home Vandalized, Hours Later She Votes To Protect Police Fundinghttps://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2020/07/22/oakland-mayor-libby-schaafs-home-vandalized-protesters/Sometime late Monday night a group of protesters showed up at Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff’s home and vandalized it with Black Lives Matter slogans. The fact that Schaff’s home had a BLM sign in the window didn’t seem to matter to the vandals.

Schaff’s home was the main target but her neighbors weren’t too happy either as the vandals arrived around 2 am and were banging on drums and setting off large fireworks. They also left some graffiti in front of other homes.

When the city council deadlocked around 11 pm Tuesday night, Mayor Schaff cast the deciding vote against cutting the police budget. To be clear, she was probably going to vote this way anyway which is probably why the vandals showed up to apply pressure on her. Still, I wonder if the vandalism didn’t reinforce for Mayor Schaaf that the city needs a police force to prevent everything from descending into mob rule.
Typos are in the article (and may be corrected by Hot Air at some later time). I hope Schaaf gets a good look at the snake she's been courting.
